Six months later from what we are seeing on television currently.
(Kiriakis Mansion)
Victor sits at his desk in the study staring sternly at the document in his hand. He looks up at Justin who is sitting across from him.
Victor: This is ludicrous!
Justin shakes his head.
Justin: Im sorry Uncle Vic, but its completely legitmate. You know I wouldnt have brought this to you if it wasnt.
Victor: When did you find out about this?
Justin: Just before I came here, my source faxed it to me.
Victor takes a deep breath and crumples the paper in his hand.
Victor: Brady is alot of things, but he would never stoop to this level. He wouldnt make the same mistakes I did.
Justin: Are you sure about that? Because the Brady I have been around the past year has become quite erratic, beginning with betraying you by taking over Titan.
Victor drops the crumpled document onto the desk and stands up.
Victor: Who was the source?
Justin: Im not at liberty to say.
Victor: Dammit Justin! You expect me to believe this, yet you wont reveal the source?!
Justin stands up.
Justin: Look, just trust me on this. My source is legitimate, the Kiriakis name goes a long way.
Victor sighs and looks away.
Justin: And like I said before, I wouldnt have brought this to your attention if it wasnt legitimate.
Victor looks back at him.
Justin: You need to get ready for this Uncle Vic. You need to find a way to get Titan back before its too late.
(Dimera Mansion)
Stefano stands at the end of the upstairs hallway. He stares blankly at the back of the estate through the window, watching as the trees and bushes dance in the breeze. He covers his mouth with a hand and closes his eyes.
<One Month Earlier>
Stefano and EJ walk into the den laughing.
Stefano: All the latest polls are in our favor! Finally the Dimera's will prevail in this town!
EJ: Yes, but not only will we prevail, we will prosper!
Stefano smiles and embraces him.
Stefano: I am so proud of you my son!
EJ: Thank you father.
The hug.
Stefano: This calls for a toast!
He hurries over and pours two brandies. He hands one to EJ, they both raise their glasses.
Stefano: To the next mayor of Salem, my son Elvis Dimera!
EJ: And to the future of the Dimera family!
Stefano laughs and shakes his head.
Stefano: Salute!
EJ suddenly drops his glass, it shatters all over the floor. He grabs his head and starts to stagger. Stefano drops his glass and grabs him.
Stefano: Elvis! What it is?
EJ's eyes roll into the back of his head and he falls backwards.
Stefano: ELVIS!
Stefano falls to his knees and cradles EJ's head.
Stefano: HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!
<Present Day>
Stefano opens his eyes and looks back out at the estate. Two hands suddenly touch his shoulders, he turns around.
Stefano: Oh, Katherine.
Kate: How are you my love?
Stefano smiles weakly, they kiss.
Kate: What did Dr. Whitmore say?
Stefano: He is still in with Elvis, I've been standing out here.
Kate: Let's go downstairs so you can sit.
Stefano: I am fine. I just want to know my sons prognosis!
Kate: Try to stay calm.
Stefano: Impossible!
He turns and looks back out the window. Kate sighs and puts her hands back on his shoulders. The door opens, Dr. Whitmore walks out.
Stefano; Doctor, how was the checkup?
Whitmore: Why dont we go somewhere where we can sit?
Stefano: Dammit no! How is my son?!
Whitmore looks at Kate.
Kate: Please, just tell us.
Whitmore: I'm sorry, but there is no change in Elvis' condition. There is no indication that he will come out of the coma.
Stefano clenches his fist and grits his teeth. He takes a deep breath and composes himself.
Stefano: I dont understand, the nurses have been following your medical regimen everyday. They have been administering the medications!
Whitmore: Yes they have, but as I explained when you signed the waiver forms, this is an experimental treatment for AVM victims.
Stefano: Meaning?!
Whitmore: There were never any garuantees.
Stefano turns back to the window.
Whitmore: Im sorry Mr. Dimera, but as I said during our intiail consultation, due to all the cranial trauma your son has suffered in the recent past his head became a very fragile risk. It is my opinion that the AVM formed during the healing of the gunshot wound, which caused the blood vessels to become abnormally shaped.
Kate: Why are you telling us all of this again?!
Whitmore: Because apparently I was not clear the first time.
Stefano is still facing the window.
Whitmore: If you wish we can continue the experimental regimen and I can check back in a month.
Stefano knocks a vase off the stand in the corner, it shatters against the wall. He turns around and looks at Whitmore.
Stefano: You are supposed to be the best in your field! Now heal my son!
Whitmore: I am a physcian Mr. Dimera, not a miracle worker.
Stefano: THEN GET OUT! YOU ARE FIRED!
Kate: Stefano!
She puts her hands on his shoulders again. Whitmore turns and leaves. Stefano begins to breath heavy.
Kate: Come on, lets go to the bedroom.
They walk off down the hall.
(Kiriakis Mansion)
Victor walks Justin to the door.
Justin: So where is Brady tonight?
Victor: Your guess is as good as mine. But you can count on one thing, I will be here to greet him when he returns.
Justin pats him on the shoulder.
Justin: Im very sorry Uncle Vic.
Victor: Yeah, so am I.
Justin opens the door to find Maggie on the door step.
Justin: Maggie!
Maggie: Justin, I didnt know you were here!
Victor: He was just leaving.
Maggie notices the somber look on Victors face. She looks at both of them.
Maggie: Is everything alright?
Victor: Of course, Justin just stopped by.
Justin: Have a goodnight.
Justin leaves out the door, Maggie looks back at Victor.
Victor: So how was business tonight?
Maggie takes off her jacket still eyeing him.
Maggie: Chez Rouge was busy as always.
They walk into the den, Victor pours them both a glass of water. He then notices Maggie still staring at him.
Victor: What? What is it?
Maggie: Oh that somber look on your face, Im supposed to believe that Justin just stopped by, the fact that your hiding something from me.
Victor sighs.
Victor: Sit down, we have to talk.
He explains everything to her.
Maggie: So you could lose everything?
Victor: Not just me, the entire family!
Maggie: Oh god!
Victor: Im sorry Maggie. This is a far cry from our vows three months ago. Happily ever after?
He lets out a laugh. Maggie takes his hand, he looks at her.
Maggie: I will be by your side, no matter what!
He smiles, they kiss.
(Dimera Mansion)
Kate walks the day term nurse Gloria to the door.
Gloria: Have a goodnight Mrs. Dimera.
Kate: You to.
Gloria leaves, Kate shuts the door and locks it. She goes back upstairs to the bedroom, Stefano is gone.
Kate: Stefano?
She walks back into the hallway and opens the door to EJ's room. The night term nurse Wanda is sitting in a chair in the corner, EJ lays in the bed, a bandage around his head.
Kate: Did Mr. Dimera come in here?
Wanda: No maam, I havent seen him.
She shuts the door and starts back towards the bedroom. She stops when she notices the door to the upstairs study cracked open.
Kate: He never goes in there.
She pushes the door open. Stefano stands in front of the fireplace, his back is to her.
Kate: What are you doing in here my love?
He turns around and looks at her, she notices the tears in his eyes. She walks over and hugs him.
Kate: Its going to be alright.
He pulls out of the hug and looks back at the fireplace. Framed pictures of Tony, Benjy, Megan and Renee sit on the mantle.
Stefano: Elvis is laying in a coma down the hall. Lexie and Chad have both disowned me.
He points at the pictures.
Stefano: And all of them..........I COULDNT PROTECT THEM!
He falls to his knees sobbing. Kate rushes over and hugs him again, he continues to cry.
(Kiriakis Mansion)
Brady staggers into the den and almost trips over the couch. He laughs and shakes his head.
Brady: Its a good thing I took the limo tonight.
He staggers over to the table and pours a shot of vodka. The door to the den suddenly slams shut, he looks over to see Victor. He raises the shot glass.
Brady:Grandad! Cheers!
Victor: Put the drink down Brady, your drunk enough!
Brady looks at him confused, Victor walks up to him.
Brady: Um, no?
He starts to take the shot but Victor slaps the glass out of his hand, it shatters all over the floor. Brady looks at the broken glass, he lets out a laugh.
Brady: Ok, your obviously in one of your moods, so Im just going to turn in.
Victor: I dont think so! Theres a matter we have to discuss!
Brady: Well, it will have to wait until the morning Im afraid.
He starts to stagger towards the door.
Victor: Jairo Felipe!
Brady stops in his tracks, he turns around, a serious look now on his face. Victor shakes his head.
Victor: I thought that name would get your attention!

Victor sits at his desk in the study staring sternly at the document in his hand. He looks up at Justin who is sitting across from him.
